In 2021 Three Rivers Crisis Center took over the school supply program that was put on by the United Way. This program may seem a little out of our scope of services, but we see this as a prevention program. Purchasing school supplies each year can be added stress to a family. If we can help to alleviate that stress we may be able to prevent an unhealthy situation down the road. We know the children and families in our community have benefitted greatly from the program. We need your help!! We need to have 600 backpacks ready for kids in Richland and Wilkin Counties. 600! That is 600 backpacks full of supplies! Here is the list of items we need to make this happen:

One way to donate to the school supply drive is from our Amazon Wish List and Walmart Wish List. Simply click on the links below and it will take you to our wish lists. This is a list of the products that are on school supply lists from our area schools. The quantities look daunting but you don't have to buy all of one particular product. Just update the quantity in your cart. If 8 people buy one each of the highlighter set, we then have it covered! Then be sure to change the shipping to Three Rivers Crisis Center's Gift Registry Address from your address options, and it will be shipped directly to us.
If you see a better deal somewhere else, that's perfectly fine! We simply request that the product match in brand and size. For example, Crayola (not Rose Art) and 24 pack (not 12 pack). Ask your teacher friends...it does make a difference! For backpacks, we ask that they be NEW and at least 18" in height. Any smaller and it's difficult for the kiddos to fit everything in. Don't worry about it not being reduced from our list. If we have more than we need for this year, we will save it for next year!
Thank you for all of the support we have received from our community!
